Stamps and Smiles Release challenges

Have you seen the peeks at the new releases at Stamps and Smiles? Very cute stuff! I thought it would be fun to play along with one of their sketch challenges. I chose the one, SASSept2, they posted on Tuesday.

Here's what I came up with. I'm not sure I like it..I turned the sketch. I might try this again with a different image...I was trying to take a shortcut and use an image already colored...LOL!

supplies:
card size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
stamps: Whipper Snapper Floral Turtle,
paper: DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies stack,
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black,
others: copics, Petaloo dazzlers, SU marker, rock candy stickles,

Young Julia with purse

I haven't inked up this Anki's Sweetheart in awhile so I thought I'd have a bit of fun with her today. I think she's one of my favorites of the Sweetheart line, although I do like them all an awful lot! How could you not??
There are so many challenge blogs out there now, so fun, that I am finding if you look around, you can usually try lots of fun new ideas. I used a sketch from Stamps and Smiles, Sketch Challenge #5.
As this card came together I must say I was so happy with it!
